So it isn't a knock at the style at all.

I just have a hard time when rappers sound like other rappers and seem to be okay with it. See my many rants about YOD and AB. On that note, if D Smoke was white he'd be way bigger than he is and absolutely beloved by a few around here...but I'm off the subject.

And like those two, I feel D sort of leaned into it. I could be wrong, but it sounds like it. Like, there's no way he released Black Habits not knowing who and what it would be compared to.

I want to like it, because people I respect like it a lot. But I've tried multiple times and can't get through it. Too distracting.

That isn't to say I've written him off.
